Abstract

We find Wess-Zumino actions for kappa invariant IIB D-branes in the explicit form. A simple and compact expression is obtained by the grace of spinor variables which are defined as power series of differential forms. Once explicit form of the Wess-Zumino actions is determined, global supersymmetry (SUSY) charges and constraint equations including local supersymmetry (kappa) generators can be determined. The SUSY algebra and the central charges are also calculated explicitly.
